Novel sulfonated poly(aryl ether ketones) containing benzoxazole were directly synthesized by aromatic nucleophilic polycondensation using various ratios of 2,2'-bi[2-( 4-flurophenyl)benzoxazol-6-yl]hexafluoropropane to sodium 5,5'-carbonylbis(2-fluorobenzenesulfonate). The copolymers were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and N,N-dimethylformamide at a relatively high solid composition (>15 wt%) and formed tough, flexible and transparent membranes. The membranes exhibited a degradation temperature of above $290^{\circ}C$. The exact dissolution times of these membranes at $80^{\circ}C$ in Fenton's reagent (3 wt% $H_2O_2$ containing 2 ppm $FeSO_4$) were undetectable, confirming their excellent chemical stability in fuel cell application. The membranes showed a moderate increase in water uptake with respect to increasing temperature. The proton conductivities of the membranes were dependent on the composition and ranged from $1.10{\times}10^{-2}$ to $5.50{\times}10^{-2}Scm^{-1}$ at $80^{\circ}C$ and 95% relative humidity (RH). At $120^{\circ}C$ without externally humidified conditions, the conductivities increased above $10^{-2}Scm^{-1}$ with respect to increasing benzoxazole content, which suggested that the benzoxazole moieties contributed to the proton conduction.

Structural studies of series of 'as spun' and drawn PEEK fibers have been carried out using X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy techniques. The analysis of results suggest that fibers produced at a constant draw ratio with increasing draw temperatures show enhanced orientation and crystalline behaviour. The resolved equatorial and meridional traces provide additional structural parameters in terms of crystallinity, crystallite size, and crystallite thickness. It is concluded that drawing at a temperature below $T_g(i.e.,\;144^{\circ}C)$ results in poorly oriented non-crystalline materials, whereas drawing above $T_g$ results in highly oriented semi crystalline materials. Additional drawing proved to increase the overall orientation with slight improvements in lateral order of the chain molecules. Quantitative analysis revealed that the crystallite size increases with increasing drawing temperature. The results also revealed the increased crystallite size upon additional drawing. Crystalline orientation parameter, $_c$, suggests almost perfect orientation. In all cases, the amorphous orientation is found to be lower than the overall orientation parameter obtained from the optical birefringence. As a result of additional drawing, crystalline orientation was found to increase slightly but the increase in the orientation of non-crystalline material was found to be substantial. An average crystalline density was determined from the orthorhombic unit cell dimensions. It was found to vary as a result of processing conditions. It was also found that the value of the maximum birefringence shows heavy dependence on the chain conformation.

심한 치조골 흡수를 동반한 편악 무치악 환자의 보철 수복시 대합치열의 상태를 고려하여 올바른 교합평면을 설정하고, 교합력이 균일하게 분산될 수 있는 치료가 제공되어야 한다. 임플란트 유지 피개의치는 소수의 임플란트로 치조골 흡수가 심한 완전 무치악 환자에게 총의치보다 우수한 유지와 안정성을 주는 치료이다. 최근 치과 영역에서 소개된 신소재 polyaryletherketone (PAEK) 기반의 폴리머(Pekkton ivory, Cendres + $M{\acute{e}}taux$ SA, Biel / Bienne, Switzerland)를 사용한 telescopic 어태치먼트는 전형적인 telescopic 코핑의 이점을 가지며, 내마모성이 뛰어나며, 기존의 임플란트 피개의치에 비해 가볍고 경제적인 장점이 있다. 본 증례에서는 상악 완전 무치악 환자에 임플란트를 5개 식립하여, Pekkton으로 내 외관이 제작된 텔레스코픽 어태치먼트를 활용한 임플란트 유지 피개의치를 제작하고, 하악은 임플란트 고정성 보철로 수복하였다. 심미적 및 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
